ANOMALOUS CHANGES OF THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD VERTICAL COMPONENT IN KAMCHATKA

Abstract

Statistical estimates of the effect in the electric field of the surface layer of the atmosphere parameters, such as time of the beginning, time of a maximum, its intensity and duration, were obtained. It was shown experimentally that the diurnal variation maximum of atmospheric electric field intensity is associated with air temperature height distribution. Power spectra of time variations of electric field intensity in the near ground atmosphere and of the horizontal component of geomagnetic field were under study. It was shown that there are oscillations with the periods of T _ 2, 0–2,5 hours in the power spectra of these parameters during a day. A possible mechanism of generation of these oscillations was proposed. It is associated with vortex motion of convective cells arising during the sunrise in the atmosphere exchange layer.
